To ALL WHOM 11: MAY CONCERN:

Be'it known that I, DANIELI'T. Comm, of Beloit, in the eounty ofRQek and State of Wisconsin, have invented a new and valuable Improvement. in Sad-Iron Holders; and I do hereby declare that the folloiring is ."a fall, clear, and exact description of the construction and operation of the same, referenee l uiing had to the said handle is-held.

imitated-drawings, making a part of this sp'eeificati'on, and to the letters and figures of reference rnarlred thereon. j l x l l i .The object of my inventionis to provide better means-than have heretofore been known or used fo'rhaindling sad-irons whsathe sameare heated. l

a Figure 1 of the drawings is a sectional view of my device,

Figure 2 is a cross-section, and FiglfB'fijlSWYl'W oftho lower side thereof. a "The letter A is a representation of the lia' or extreme upper part of my holder." It ismade hollonyas shown on fig. 2, to receive the upper side of the sad-iron'handle, and has shoulders at each end, between which Lette'rsB are two adjhstable pieces of iron, slotted and screwed as shown, the allies of which is to be moved and fastened at any desirable point longitadinally, in order to adopt the hollow in the holder to the length of the sad-iron handle. p I

Letter C'is-a small pin fastened in the lid A, to facilitate the raising of the same. v l Lettor D is the lower part of the holder. It is hollowed to receive the lower side of thesnd-iron handle,

and is united to the lid A by. means of coiled-wire springs marked E. These springsE are adjasted in the manner shown, and serve to keep the two parts of the holder firmly held together when the some are not held Y asunder by actual foreerh Let ter'G is a shield attached to the lower side of the holder in the. manner shown, and seryes to keep the heat from the sad-iron from the operators hand while the saddron is in use.

' My device is operated as follows} I place the thumb of the rig-ht hand-on the pin'C; nndther'eby raise the lid. I then clasp the sad-iron handle between the upper and lower parts of the' holder, andf'I am ready for work. If thesad-iron handle he too short for the hollow,- I move the slotted irons B, and thereby'adjdst the length ofsaid hollow to'thelength of said handle; The shield G always serves to keep the operhtor's hadd frdmb'eing'heated by the iron. I prefer to make the holder proper of wood, and'thereby save the heat'ofthe handle from burning the hand. The shield is of metal.

1 I do not claira that the hinged holder and shield herein shown and described are new, either separately or in combination, j i

What I-elaim as my invention, and desire to see nre by Letters Patent, is-

:A sadiron holder, having lid A, adjnstable irons 13, pin C, bottom D,'springs E, and shield G, adjusted,

eoinbined, and arrahged substantially as specified.
